Here's a good one for finding new sources on a topic. You can find where the buzz is coming from by getting Google Alerts on anyone who links to a popular genealogy blog. For example, ExpertGenealogy.com is high ranked. You can have Google tell you when someone links to this site with the following Alert, and then follow those alerts to find new sources of info:<br /><A HREF="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=link%3Aexpertgenealogy.com+-site%3Aexpertgenealogy.com" REL="nofollow"><br />link:expertgenealogy.com -site:expertgenealogy.com</A>I hope you find this useful.
